Property Description for 266 Stuyvesant Ave
OH BY APPT ONLY. Welcome to 266 Stuyvesant Avenue — a prime Stuyvesant Heights four-story, two-family Brownstone located on one of Bedford Stuyvesant's most desirable avenues.
Designed in 1886 by the esteemed Amzi Hill, 266 Stuyvesant exemplifies the Neo-Grec style. The row was published in several architectural and building publications at the time. The interior features elements of the Japanese aesthetic movement throughout. More than a century later, Hill’s astute design choices meld perfectly with the modern updates and finishes introduced by today's talented designer-owner.
Original architectural details abound, including seven mantles with their original tile work, pocket doors, original wood moldings, original floors, plaster crown moldings, and medallions. The ceiling molding on the parlor floor is particularly handsome with an inset panel design. Custom kitchen cabinetry, waterfall stone countertops, and timeless, high-end appliances, along with encaustic tile and marble designer bathrooms, round out this special home, making it a true standout for modern living.
266 Stuyvesant Ave is configured as a four-bedroom owner's triplex with a rear deck, over a luxe one-bedroom garden apartment. Both units have direct access to the backyard and eastern/western exposure, with every room receiving ample natural light throughout the day. Part of the top floor ceiling was raised, creating an exceptionally bright and spacious retreat.
Well-situated, 266 Stuyvesant is a short jaunt to many cafes, bars, restaurants, and grocery stores — Saraghina, BKB, Rita & Maria, Trad Room, Halsey Market, and Bar Lunatico to name a few. A/C/M/J/Z lines are easily accessible.
